Klinik Lengg and QUMEA: Successful partnership
Following a successful pilot phase, Klinik Lengg in Zurich is continuing to use QUMEA to provide even more comprehensive care for patients who are particularly at risk of falling.
With the help of radar technology, QUMEA recognises potential fall risks in the room at an early stage and issues an alarm via an app. This enables carers to provide assistance as quickly as possible.
Carina Kouraichi, Head of Epileptology Nursing, adds: “The use of QUMEA has significantly improved our work processes. The nursing staff can be confident that patients at risk have the best possible protection against falls. The system thus provides a kind of mental relief in everyday hospital life.”
Following the successful pilot phase, Klinik Lengg continues to rely on QUMEA to further optimise fall prevention in a targeted manner.
Fewer falls and lighter nursing workload with QUMEA, new study finds
A peer-reviewed study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS), shows: fewer falls and a lighter nursing workload with QUMEA in delirium care. The prospective, controlled study, conducted at the University Center for Geriatric Medicine Felix Platter in Basel, put foresight to the test in one of Europe's most demanding clinical settings for delirium care. The result: QUMEA's contactless, radar-based monitoring was associated with substantially fewer falls and a lighter nursing workload related to bed-exits than a conventional contact mat.
Together with the Landeskrankenhaus Hall | Tirol Kliniken GmbH: An authentic glimpse into everyday nursing care
An authentic glimpse into clinical daily life shows how QUMEA supports nursing professionals. The anonymous, contactless technology creates more safety without unnecessarily interrupting daily care routines, while consistently protecting data privacy and confidentiality.
VGR and QUMEA: An interview on one of Europe's largest radar projects
Falls in hospitals rarely happen without warning. The changes that precede them, in mobility, in restlessness, in how a patient moves through the night, often go unnoticed between routine checks. This is the gap the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) set out to close when it began one of the largest publicly tendered movement monitoring projects in Europe.
